520			_aThe modern state secures legitimacy and carries out its tasks of governance and development through a diverse range of institutions. This volume analytically assesses the design, performance, and adaptability of the principla institutions of governance in India and their critical role in a democractic polity. It is axiomatic that societies are well governed and well organized to the extent that their public institutions can adequately managinh the demands imposed on them. In India, it is commonly held that a modest record in development and governance is explained by the somewhat limited utility of many public institutions.
